Why are leaves chained?


Why are leaves chained?
The problem occurs primarily in Miltonias and hybrids with Odontoglossums and Oncidiums. These families are vulnerable to the uneven substrate humidity and it reacted with the active and slows down the growth of leaves and stems. If you leave the substrate too long dry, after swamping growth quickly resumed. Leaves and arteries do not grow more evenly and be 'captured' in the older leaves, which they embrace. Young leaves, therefore, became chained and remains deformed.

Orchids Requirements


Most orchids require the same care: like having a lot of light (not direct!) and plenty of water, which incidentally can not even stand in a decorative container, for flower it would be bad. If you foster your orchid properly, the new flowers, depending on the species, occur in three to six months.

Do not re-potting orchids too often in the new container. Normally, do this only a few times. And one more bad news - under ambient conditions is very difficult to reproduce orchids. Continue to do your best with orchids Cymbidium: once from the earth grows six germ flower is simply divided into two smaller flowers.
